You have no impact on how it makes me feel.

Then why come and post if you don't care what others have to say about it?

I believe I stated why. 

I'm curious and please don't take this the wrong way but how many times have you played ME1 and ME2 if at all? Have you read any of the novels/comic books? Have you ever visited the Mass Effect Wiki?

As I mentioned I've been here from the start, I've completed Mass Effect 1 19 times, Mass Effect 2, six. I've read all the books (though I wish I hadn't read Deception) and yes I've visted the Wiki. 

Ok then can you answer this one question, why would Garrus have left earth during the battle to fly with Joker away from the battle?

^ he has enough time to change clothes too.

Indeed, you like your imagination combined with the ending... which is cool.

I personally thought the ending was 'good enough to move on from' but it had numerous plot holes/gaps/and unanswered questions.  But, as the OP experienced, it's not something a little imagination can't fix...

I can see why people are upset over the endings, I understand, but at the same time, I can't, due to the fact I only really care about how it impacted me. Nobodies opinion really matters because it isn't mine and it doesn't deciate how I felt about the experience. 

I'd be more concerned if I didn't have to use my imagination to feel in a few gaps here and there personally. It's a big universe. 

Some gaps are just pure inconsistency (like your squadmates getting on the Normandy when they were supposed to be with you)... a hard gap to fill... even with a great imagination.

How Shepard survived reintry into Earth's atmosphere without armor or biotics on a citadel that already exploded in his face (after he took a Reaper beam head-on and passed out once from it)... takes even more mental gymnastics.

But there are answers...

[Jellyfish Opera]

At any rate, I don't see how me enjoying the ending makes me ignorant or the fact that I feel I had all my questions answered is wrong or invalid.

Maybe I'm not stating this clearly or something.

I enjoyed Mass Effect 3 in it's entirety regardless of any plot holes or confusing endings, because it was everything I WANTED it to be. Not what you wanted or anyone else. It doesn't make it bad because it may or may not have made since. It's amazing because it's my story and it made me happy.

I hope I don't have to repeat myself and I made it clear for anyone that would like to bring up why they feel I'm wrong for enjoying the ending.

[Mr. Gogeta34]

Nothing wrong with enjoying the ending... the main scrutiny you're receiving is from the notion that you feel it made sense.^^

I really enjoyed parts of the destory ending personally, Shepard shooting that generator thing like a boss...^^

I'm not happy with it. It just doesn't make sense in the context of the story, the themes present, the established lore, etc...

If you really don't see how the ending is flawed, OP, then I'd advise you to just avoid discussing it and move on. Sometimes it's better to just shut your brain off and experience the raw emotional power of a scene, without considering the implications, and leave with a smile on your face at the end of the day. In the case of ME3's endings, it seems like Bioware decided to just go for raw emotional power and sombre music rather than write a coherent, logical conclusion.

Oh god... so you are well aware of what it means when a Mass Relay gets destroyed?
Must... be.... nice...

The Normandy crashed on a planet, so that means that relays don't take out systems when they die, anymore. All the normandy has to do is jump back to earth, oh wait, without relays it's going to take them decades to get back, if they are lucky, assuming they can even get the Normandy off the ground.

inb4 "OP you are paid by EA aren't you?"

More seriously, that's good for you, OP. Glad you enjoyed it.

Wait you wanted a confusing plot hole ridden incoclusive ending?

[2484Stryker]

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, sincerely so. What angered me about the ending wasn't just HOW it ended, but also how that same ending (despite being labelled as three choices) was forced upon me.

[Oron345]

I'm fairly happy, I believe the indoctrination/hallucination theory is what really happened which I feel is a better ending than.

[nupfi]

So you are happy that everything you have done in the last games are completely irrelevant?
You happy that Shep whipes out the entire galaxy? Well, that's awesome! For you.

Let's not forget that it might even be impossible to travel that far because you have to factor in the static charge that if it isn't released will overload and kill everyone on the ship.

SPOILER:

For the record I chose the ending where Shepard destroyed all sythethic life, but somehow himself lived. Then again my Shepard, me, is a survior. It doesn't surprise me I can live through just about anything.

But I think the other poster is right, it's best just to leave it alone and like myself, let people have their own opinions on the ending. 

As I said before, I just wanted to thank Bioware.

[Mr. Gogeta34]

Lets all assume the races fine Liara's data, repair the Citadel's relay, and uses that to get home and rebuild the other relays.

Everyone's happy right? = )

My Shepard has the same ending, where he survived.  And I too am happy enough with that.  I'm glad we also both agree that despite the plot holes, the game itself was still a great experience overall.

But they could've matched the conclusive power of their other games in the trilogy (yet alone the mission structure of Mass Effect 3 itself... ie/an epilogue etc.).  Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.

Way to be op. Good to see some positivity. I got no problem with ending either, and I don't have to use my imagination (it's sheps story, what happens to the crew is ancillary and can be delt with in dlc or a furthering of the universe in a sequel). I know why people are mad (beating a dead horse comes to mind). I know what plot holes you see. I know what the bugs were (thank god Garrus didn't emerge from the ship in my playthrough...that would have really bugged me, but I prolly would have chalked it up as a bug). But, I liked my ending and it made sence (though, really, the (spoiler) from my (spoiler)) based on how the game played out, (geth and edi being primary). Yeah, the galaxy is in shambles. However, as trailer park folk love to say after the tornado "we gone rebuild".

So... blue, red, or green?

I went blue and I did not hate that ending. There could have been one more final cut scene that would have made it a pefectly bettersweet moment though for me.


----Spoiler Alert---- dont read past here if you dont wanna




My perfect bitter sweet moment would have been my Shepard talking to Kaiden through the reapers or his biotic implants for one final goodbye. Telling him one more time that she loved him, for him to live for her and to move on and celebrate life not to mourn her, all of that. It would have been a heart wrenching moment but it would have given me that bit of clousure. I fully expected the sarcrifice at the end -- but I expected a little more. Heck even a com to Kaiden and / or the rest of the crew before would have been good. Anything ... not nothing. I mean there was the conversations down on the planet first but that was nothing in comparison to her actually knowing what her fate would be.

There is one thing though. IS it the end of Shepards story or.. as implied is there time for 'one more story?'. That got me thinking, the reason the ME Shepard series was going to be a three part series was so that they could fit them all on to xbox before the next 'awesome console' comes along and takes its place. Since Xbox is still so big and I haven't seen signs of another console coming out any time soon to take its place .. maybe there is time for one more story before the end?

Because maybe if they are able to answer these questions in a suitable way we might be able to accept them and achieve the same amount of happiness they have about the ending?

Where can I find the drugs that OP is on so I can enjoy the ending too?

or you know maybe people understand it because they dont over analize everything

thats one big thing i noticed about the fan base

ever stop to think that maybe shepard would rather die to see his love and crew live with the galaxy he just saved?

people bring up this inbreeding stuff and imo id like people to explain that otherwise that should be no excuse for peoples actions around here

[Chapity]

Wow tazz, way to grow.
